Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed March 11, 1915. Serial No. 13,627.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DANIEL G. SoHUoKnR,

a citizen of the United States, residing at.

Selingsgrove, in the county of Snyder, State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachments for Bed-Springs; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as w1ll en-' able others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to 7 bed springs. 7

The object of the invention resides in the provision of an attachment for bed springs through the instrumentality of which a bed spring may be associated with eithera-"metal bed.

bed or a wood bed. V

A further object of the invention resides in the provision of an attachment of the type" named which will be simple in construction, easily ad usted, and readily associated with a metal frame bedspring of ordinary cone struction.

lVith the above and other objects in View the invention consists inthe details of construction and in the'arrangement and combination of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and particularly pointed out in the appended claims In describing the invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters of refer ence denote corresponding parts in the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of one corner of a. metal frame bed spring having the attachment associated therewith and showing the spring applied to a metal bed, the latter being disclosed in dotted lines, and

Fig. 2, a perspective view of one corner of a metal frame bed spring having the attachment associated therewith and showing the spring applied to a wood bed, the latter being disclosed in dotted lines.

'Referring to the drawings A indicates generally a metal frame bed spring. One of the end members of the spring A is shown and indicated at 10 and depending from the end member 10 is an angle iron arm 11 connected at its lower end to thetubular supporting rail 12 all as is well known in the construction of metal frame bed springs.

attachment for i The attachment is shown as comprising a sleevelS sl dable on the rail 12-a'nd carrying a set screw 14: for securing the sleeve against sliding movementfon the rail as will be ob:

vious. Thefend ofthesleeve 13 adjacent the arm 11 is provided with diametrically opposite corresponding recesses 15 corresponding in shape to the cross section of the arm 11 andadaptedjto receive the latter when the sleeve is moved to its limit toward the arm 11 and whereby said sleeve is secured against rotation on therail 12 through the medium of the interlocking engagement "between the .arm and sleeve thus established. The sleeve 13 has formed integral therewith a lateral wing 16 which is adapted to support. the

spring when the latter is applied to a metal It will" of course beunderstood that two attachments are applled to each supporting rail of the spring and when the latter is applled to a metal bed the attachmentsare adjusted in interlocking relation with respective arms 11 with the wings 16 disposed outwardly and in position'to engage the side ralls of the bed, such side rail being indicated at 18 in Fig, l'. 1

r If it is desired to apply the spring A to a wood bed the attachments are adjusted in interlocking I'GlatiOliWlth the arms 11 with the wings 16disposed inwardly when the.

rails 12 will directly engage slats l9 and support the springs. r

VVhat is claimed is Patented Fen-s, 1916.

An attachment for bedsprings comprising a sleeve adapted to be slidably and rotatably mounted onthe side rail of a bed spring and having diametrically opposite corre- V ture, in the presence of two witnesses.
